What America needs for a successful Revolution.

If you compare the generations of our country’s past to the generation of today and those of the future, you start to long for a chance to go back in time. One longs to know how life was and how people acted. You could learn what it was that made them so successful at creating our new, free country that has since become the most powerful in the world. We look at those men and women responsible for what we have today, and the sacrifice and sense of duty those people possessed, and wonder what has happened to today’s generations. I wonder why people don’t act that way any more. What happened to Patriotism, Purity, and Loyalty? It all seems to have totally disappeared from minds of the American people. It gives a feeling of despair and leads to a more important issue: How do we defeat this glooming monster that is digesting the country we all cherish?

Chuck Norris came out with an article recently that is titled “The Secret Weapon in American’s Revolution.” This article gave me a bittersweet feeling of both hope and anxiety at the same time. His secret weapon is the youth of our country. My father always told me that it will be my generation that saves or destroys the United States of America. I was young and didn’t quite understand what he meant at the time, but now that I have grown older, I have begun to understand. It is the apathy of the previous generations that formed the ignorance of my generation. Going back to Chuck Norris’s article, he is exactly right. The youth in the United States are the ones who will undoubtedly bring America back her core values and beliefs that she was built on. But in order to instill those values in our children, we need their parents to start educating their children and beginning to diverge from the beliefs and thoughts of generations past. We need to stop worrying about what movie star slept with who, or what stupid new stunts the guys from Jackass are pulling. We need to start emphasizing to today’s children that God and country over self is not just a good way to live, it’s the only way to live. If we can do that, and divert ourselves off of our current course of a continuous digression of family, social and religious morals, we may just give tomorrow’s generations a chance to once again hold their heads high and be proud that they are citizens of a truly great, and truly free United States of America.



1 Timothy 4:12 (New International Version)
12Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
